a shadow of himself? I have not noticed a difference. His rebounding is down because his minutes are downe. He is not scoring as much, but lets face it, he was not much of a scoring option before the surgery. i think that some of the reason that Camby is scoring less is because with the addition of Wallace and Roy coming back, Camby will have even less chances to score and less minutes.

I have been watching the games and Roy has really been fiting in. He is not what I expected when the season started. However, given the fact that there was rumors of a forced retirement, I can live with what Roy is giving the Blazers. I hope that the Blazers stay conservative with him though. My fear is that Nate will start playing him more and more until his knees give out on him. Hope the Blazers keep him to 25 minutes the rest of the year.

I keep hearing the 41-8 bench total and I don't know why this is a big deal. When 2 or your top 3 scorers start the game on the bench, then I would hope that you would outscore the other teams bench each night. I am sure that if Miami held out Wade the first 2 minutes of the game that the bench scoring between the teams might be more even.

I will agree that his defense was average 2 night (not hapless though). However, he played with the flow of the offense. I think he has played within the offense more now than he did before his injuries this year. He hit some important shots and made some nice passes. Also, just having him out there forces the defense to focus on him. I can't understand all of the comments about people bashing Roy; he is really playing well.

seems to me that the main problem is that teams are adjusting to Adridge. They are packing it in the paint on D and double teaming him. Right now the blazers are not making the outside shots to make teams pay for this. Until the Blazers adjust, they will continue to have problems

Great game. Makes the Laker game a little more palitable. Great game 4 Roy. Also, to all u B. Roy haters out there I just got to say, ah never mind, just not in the mood to talk with those morons. Go Blazers!

Roy looked really good on defense 2 night. He checked Kobe really well. I was really encouraged with what i saw. Blazers just need to stay conservative with him. 20-25 min a night with no back to back games the rest of the season.

This trade does not make that much sense as is. Really does not help us now or in the future. Also, the Blazers would need to add 2 more players for this deal to work under the cap. I could possibly see this if the blazers got a 1st round pick from the Nets.

I think that we can do better. I agree that we do need to find a younger point guard. However, Devin Harris is not that young. He turns 28 in less than a week and his play is based upon speed and quickness. This is unlike Millers game, which is based upon passing, running an offense, and strong decision making. Point guards with attributes like Miller tend to play at a high level late in their 30's while point guards with attributes like Harris decline much quicker. I would argue that Miller at 34 is playing just as well as he ever has. I would hold off on any trade (except for Joel) and look this summer to trade up in the draft to get our point guard of the future. Also, the way this team is playing, there is no reason that they cannot get out of the first round with Miller.

They can still get u for drunk driving if you are under the legal limit and the cop still feels as though you driving was impaired. It is tougher to get a conviction because it is more subjective than just blowing a .08. I personally hate any law that leaves it up to the discression of the police. States are really hurting for money right now and DUI's are a great way to raise money. This one sounds a little fishy to me.

A month ago, I would have been in agreement that the Blazers should have made a move. However, with the way the team is playing, I think that the Blazers should play it conservative and see what this team can do. I understand trading Joel since his contract does expire and he won't have a major role when Camby comes back. However, I would not trade Miller or Camby just yet because their value is not going to go down much in one year. Unless the Blazers get a sweet heart deal, then I think the team should stand pat. If the season does not work out and they have another 1st round exit, then we can make some changes in the off-season. The Blazers will have a ton of assests this off season including:

a. 2 expensive expring contracts of players who can still play at a high level
b. 3 former first rounders in Europe
c. 2 two first rounders from last year who have not played much and still have potential
d. 2 first founders from this years draft

Rather than looking at a trade now, I think the blazer should look at use these assests to move up the draft this summer. I know its a long shot but lets go after Kyrie Irving from Duke. This would take a series of moves to gradually move into the top 3, but it is a weak draft, so you never know. They had less assests in 2006 and were able get Roy with the 6th pick. (I think they only gave up telfair, Ratliff, money, a 2nd round pick and agreed to take on LaFranze to make that deal happen.)

I don't think that they are going to have a choice. Williams is not happy in Utah and will most likely force there hand in the next couple of year. It is a long shot, but the Blazers do have some young players and draft picks. I am not sure a point guard with a score first mentality like Devin Harris is what the team needs right now. I think it is best to be patient and see if a better fit opens up over the summer

I think that we should stay put at that position for now. Devin is a nice player, but I think we can do better. The Jazz are going in the tank. Lets hold out for Deron Williams over the summer or next trade deadline.
